was
examining of him in the Minories, word was brought me his son
was fled away at the back door. I bid them run after him; but
they said they saw him leap over a great ditch, he was not heard
of till yesterday, though I sent out my warrants for him.

LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE HYDE--Yourself (as sir T. Aleyn swears) said
you knew not of whom you had part of the money, but the other
was your own, and yet afterwards that the money was Tryon's; why
did you say so?

TURNER--I will tell you the reason; I would not have my business
spoiled, and did feign those answers. My lord, I do demand of
him whether Mr. Tryon and I had not made a bargain in the
morning, whether or no if he might have his goods the person
should be free, and that he agreed no blood should be spilt;
that he had rather lose all his money and jewels, than to
forfeit such an asseveration which the thief had bound me that I
should swear to him, That by the blood of Jesus Christ that was
shed for him and all sinners, his life should be free.

LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE HYDE--You are beside the business.

TURNER--My lord, I ask alderman Aleyn whether I did not tell him
this?

SIR T. ALEYN--I told your lordships two souls were pawned, as he
said before.

LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE HYDE--Do not spend your time thus; the
question's short, Whether you are guilty of robbing, or breaking
the house of Mr. Tryon or no?

TURNER--I am as free as any man here.

LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE HYDE--They will not believe your own words.

Mr. Tryon, pray (as you are able) give an account of this
business.

TRYON--My Lord, about 11 of the clock, or something past, upon
Thursday night last was a sevennight, two men came into my
chamber when I was fast asleep, one on the one side, and another
on the other side of the bed: one had a lanthorn that opened on
one side, and waked me: when I saw him I was much astonished (as
I might well be); but as I knew them not, I said, My masters,
who are you? I was newly out of my sleep; being an ancient man,
I apprehended another man for the party I spoke to, but he was
not the man; and I named him by his name, What do you do here at
this time of night? What is your business? Said nothing to me;
one took both my hands, the other with a little cord bound me
very hard, insomuch here yet is the dents of it;
